Inefficient farming techniques can exacerbate the situation, leading to deforestation, soil erosion and the subsequent sedimentation of waterways. As a result, the size and quality of coffee harvests are becoming much less reliable. At the same time, smallholders are subject to price fluctuations caused by market trends over which they have no control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these factors combine to make their livelihoods precarious, leading to socio-economic vulnerability and declining food security, with the risk that farmers leave coffee cultivation and seek more profitable occupations in urban areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LDC is one of the world\u2019s top five green coffee merchants, with a strong presence in 11 coffee-producing countries that cover 85% of global production. As an industry leader, we are well-placed to support smallholders in addressing the challenges they face through more efficient, sustainable and ultimately profitable, production practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p>By doing so, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldc.com\/sustainability-report-2020\/goals-that-guide-us\/\">we help to advance the <em>United Nations<\/em>\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (SDGs) on several fronts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No Poverty (SDG1), Zero Hunger (SDG2), Quality Education (SDG4), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG8): We contribute to economic empowerment by partnering with local suppliers; we support the communities we touch through local initiatives; we train smallholder farmers in more sustainable practices to improve their income.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gender Equality (SDG5): We work to empower women coffee farmers in Kenya, Ethiopia and Indonesia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG12), Climate Action (SDG13), Life on Land (SDG15), Partnerships for the Goals (SDG17): We work through many and varied collaborative initiatives to advance sustainable coffee production, some of which are detailed in this report.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\" \">\n    <div class=\"tw-container tw-mt-4 tw-mb-24 tw-mx-auto\">\n        <div class=\"tw-w-full tw-mx-auto lg:tw-w-11\/12 tw-flex tw-flex-wrap lg:tw-flex-nowrap tw-justify-center tw-items-center tw-relative\">\n            <div class=\"tw-mt-10 lg:tw-mt-0 tw-w-full md:tw-w-7\/12 tw-h-full tw-flex lg:tw-w-2\/3\">\n                <blockquote class=\"tw-w-full tw-pr-5\">\n                                            <div class=\"tw-w-20 tw-h-1 tw-bg-green tw-mb-10\"><\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"tw-text-3xl tw-leading-tight tw-text-green tw-font-heading tw-mb-12\">\u201cWe believe that sustainable agriculture is closely linked with farmers\u2019 wellbeing.

In 2020, LDC participated in a study funded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacobsdouweegberts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Jacobs Douwe Egberts<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idhsustainabletrade.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Sustainable Trade Initiative<\/em><\/a> (IDH) and <a href=\"https:\/\/greeninvestasia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Green Invest Asia<\/em><\/a>, on carbon and farm profitability in Vietnam\u2019s Robusta coffee sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make coffee production more sustainable, reducing associated carbon emissions is essential. Without relevant data, however, supply chain actors cannot make informed decisions about production management or communicate progress in reducing emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vietnam is the world\u2019s largest Robusta coffee producer and the second-largest exporter of all coffee varieties. The study we participated in assessed the carbon footprint of coffee production in the country\u2019s Central Highlands region, the world\u2019s most intensive coffee production area, with a goal to identify business strategies most likely to incentivize farmers to adopt more sustainable agriculture methods, while also reducing carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LDC collected data from thousands of farmers over a period of three years, the results of which show that carbon-neutral coffee production is possible. Optimal use of fertilizers and nutrients, as well as crop diversification, are both key to reducing a farm\u2019s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study showed that 32% of highly diversified farms had a negative carbon footprint (with sequestration exceeding emissions), compared to 15% of medium-diversified farms and only 8% of monoculture farms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-co-2-e-emission-sequestration-amp-footprint-per-hectare-and-level-of-diversification\">CO<sub>2<\/sub>e Emission, Sequestration &amp; Footprint per hectare and Level of Diversification<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ldc.com\/br\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/coffee-carbon-study.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17529\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, a reduced carbon footprint does not always correlate with higher profits for the farmer. Relationships between carbon intensity and profitability are complex, and more detailed understanding of specific intercropping and production models is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, LDC will continue to work with partners to collect data for the study, with the aim to contribute to improving the sector\u2019s sustainability &#8211;
